     OP - April 16, 2013, 08:07 PM
    ahhh, memories. I had to chuckle when I heard this song playing today and I remember back when of my Muslim pals came over, was on my PC and took it upon herself to erase it from my playlist.  LOL.  That is just one of many instances of friends overstepping their bounds and taking it upon themselves to be a shariah ninja, when it's like, totally NOT their business to do so.  Anybody else have some good stories like that?

    I sharia policed a Pakistani friend of mine back in the day. Sat him down and gave him a lecture about his drinking and being a Muslim. I'm surprised he didn't tell me to piss off. I was "forbidding the evil" with my words in my mind back then.

    Here's another one! I've had my ears pierced since I was 14 (my dad pierced them actually). I have kept them in because I like them and its s tradition from my Rajput heritage I want to keep. Grandfather and great grandfather had ears pierced too. 

    Anyway I used to go for Maghreb prayers and Iftar at this little masjid near my house. One day one of the guys came up and decided to have a talk with me. He told me that earrings were haraam because it was imitating women. I told him that if he thinks a big bald headed guy with a goatie like me is trying to imitate a woman then he must have pretty ugly women where he comes from. I also told him my ancestors were warriors and kings and having our ears pierced was our cultural tradition. I stopped going to that place soon after.

    That's funny Pepe  Cheesy

    I had this silver ring from my father. It had been around for ages and was one of the few things from my father that I had. I wore it on my left hand. A few “bros” started really digging into me for 1) wearing a ring and 2) wearing it on my left hand.

    I knew very well that the Prophet wore a ring, so when I mentioned that, they said that his ring was for a purpose, i.e., for stamping and sealing his letters since he was illiterate. My ring, they argued “imitated a wedding ring.” They then went on to talk about how if I was going to wear it, I should wear it on my right since the prophet preferred the right hand. I argued 1) there is no prohibition on wearing rings on the left hand, therefore it is mubah. And 2) as it was clearly not a wedding band, it was not in imitation of the dreaded “kuffar.” Also, because I do use my right hand for so much (I happen to be right handed) it was easier for me to keep it on my left so that it did not get in the way.

    They left me alone when they saw I could argue my case back and would not back down.

    Is not the phrase about taking the plank out of one own's eye before worrying about the speck in someone else's known in Islam?

    Two of my friends in high school secretly liked the same girl and always had arguments. Unfortunately, the girl was only interested in one of the guys and she started dating him. When the other guy got jealous, he sharia-policed her about her bad habits of dating and she eventually stopped.

    When Muslims complain about imperialism its so often such a crock of shit. Islam is such an imperialistic ideology its unreal. Manifestations of non Islamic heritage must be wiped out.

    Or having people ask you o say "Masha Allah Tabarak Allah" whenever you go over their house, get in their car, see their kids, etc, for fear that your secret "jealousy" might give them the evil eye.

    Just googled that and got this link

    Is being a Muslim like being in a play and following a script and all these others telling you stuff are propmpters telling you the correct lines if you go off script?

    Quote
    One Way Pendulum took Simpson from Sloane Square into the West End limelight with its picture of a variously obsessed suburban household in which, among several family preoccupations, a son trains a collection of weighing machines to sing the Hallelujah Chorus instead of speaking people’s weight. All except one obey his bidding. It goes on irritably booming: “Fifteen stone, ten pounds”.

    Explaining his motive for all this, the character Kirby Groomkirby says he wants to take the speak-your-weight machines to the North Pole and melt the ice around it. Meanwhile his father, Arthur Groomkirby, is building a do-it-yourself Old Bailey in his living room, only for a judge and jury mysteriously to move in to try him for some unspecified offence.

    Quote
    All praises are due to Allah, Lord of the worlds and prayer and salutation upon our prophet, Muhammad, his family, his companions and those who follow them in goodness until the Day of Judgement.

    If a person sees that which amazes (pleases) him, pertaining to his wealth, then he should say Maashaa Allah Laa Quwwata illa billah, just as in the story of the companion of the two gardens, when his companion said to him: It was better for you to say, when you entered your garden: That which Allah wills there is no power except with Allah. This is if he sees something amazing (pleasing) with his wealth.

    If he sees it in other than himself then he should say Barakallahu Alaihi (May Allah bless it for him) or a statement similar to it.

    And if he sees something that amazes (pleases) him from the matters of the Dunya (world) he should say: Labbaik, Innal Aish, Aishul Aakhirah, as the Prophet ( ) used to say. So he says Labbaik meaning an answer to you then he said verily the (real) life is the life of the hereafter. He makes it firm within himself at the same instance that the Dunya and whatever is within it does not remain and there is not any life in it but verily the real life is the life of the hereafter.

    So most things are scripted - I would argue that the vast majority of non-muslims do not know this, and that therefore Monty Python and Charlie Chaplin are definitely required.
